Toucan is an innovative touchscreen display unit that connects, via CAN bus, to the Syvecs or Link G4 + (originally Simtek and Alcatek) engine management system. This Product will not run on a standard ECU.

It has 2 main functions:

Easy naming and selection of Calibrations (or maps), in place of the standard rotary switch.

Extensive gauge displays, complete with audible and visible alarms, as well as absolute and dynamic peak markers.

Each CAL position is provided with 3 lines of user-entered text, minimising the risk of selecting the wrong map. PIN protection can be enabled, so the vehicle may be parked with an immobiliser CAL enabled (with no fuel injected, for example) or a valet mode (with low rpm limits), with a PIN entry required before the CAL can be changed.

Gauges have a absolute peak marker (with reset button), plus a dynamic peak marker that holds the most recent peak for a configurable period of time before dropping back to the current value.

Four main gauge pages are provided, each with a conveniently grouped set of gauges. A quick touch on any small gauge causes a full-screen gauge to be displayed and the unit can also be set to immediately show the relevant large gauge when an alarm is triggered.

Alarms can be individually enabled for each parameter, with the alarm thresholds set as required. A low oil temperature warning can be enabled, especially important for turbocharged engines to avoid driving hard when the oil’s too cold. The audible alarm may be muted if wished.

When used with a Link G4 + ECU, launch control and antilag can be turned on and off directly from the touchscreen, and the launch RPM can also be adjusted from the screen.

The display is a full-colour TFT LCD with 320×240 pixels and a resistive touchscreen. Backlight dimming for night time use can be manually selected, and/or automatically enabled if the unit is wired to the vehicles “illumination” circuit.

Gauges and Alarms

Gauge scales can be display in either imperial or metric units, and road speed in mph or kph. Alarms can be enabled individually as required for each parameter.

Of course, gauges will only show valid data when appropriate sensors are wired to the ECU but gauges 1 through 9 below are generally available for most installations. Only full screen gauges for available sensors need be enabled, meaning “dead” gauges are not displayed.
